    The sun is spectacular.

    The Sunday brunch at the Saskatchewan Radisson Hotel houses the biggest spread I have ever seen. And even if you eat half a waffle, one egg’s benedict, an apple crepe, one thick sausage, tomato and artichoke hearts salad, a veggie omelette, a spoonful of lentils, one chocolate mousse, an apple strudel…you simply cannot make a dent.

    It’s so dry, I feel like a snake shedding my skin…after every shower.

    One Starbucks for 200,000 people. Is the Regina population under-caffeinated? I wonder…

    The home to North America’s biggest Tim Horton’s. Um…in Regina’s dreams.

    Every destination can be reached by car in approximately four to eight minutes. Incidentally, if you have a baby you’re trying to lull to sleep through motion, the proximity of destinations is ANNOYING!

    Flat, cold and windy = cheek burn.

    Organic groceries cannot be purchased on Sundays. Only pesticide foods can be purchased on weekends. It’s a law.

    Quality espresso: non. The best ever rice bread: oui.

    It’s a conservative town (so I’m told), which means saying things like: “Vran is a liar. And liars go to hell” and the ‘V’ word (vagina…shhh!) in one’s first ever play might be considered risky.

    Xippie says: LOL found a loving home here anyway!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Regina!

    Okay enough with the bad puns. Come back with pictures and stuff.

    BTW if your okay with Elsie dating younger guys, I have a nephew just born on Friday that she might be interested in, say sixteen years. Let me know. He’s a cuty!!!

    [...] remember my posts about freezing my buns off on the sunny streets of Regina? If not, I refer you to here. Framing Elsie’s head are Simon’s pert biceps. That’s all. I’m off to pour [...]
